On your menu to organize your posts into category pages, to display posts by category.
On specific pages using the Blog Posts block.

Adding a Category Menu
If you have added a Category Page to your site's menu but do not see any posts on the Category Page, or a message that says the content can't be found, this means no posts have been assigned to that category. Once you add posts to the category they will automatically show on the Category Page.

Edit: Change the name, parent category, and description of a category.
Quick Edit: Quickly update the name of a category.

Topics Listings
Your posts will appear in the topics listings of any tags or categories you use. Therefore, assigning tags and categories to your post increases the chance that other WordPress.com users will see your content.
However, you don't want irrelevant content showing up on the topics listings or search, and neither do we. That's why we limit the number of tags and categories that can be used on a public topic listing. Five to 15 tags (or categories, or a combination of the two) is a good number to add to each of your posts.The more categories you use, the less likely it is that your post will be selected for inclusion in the topics listings.Learn more about Topics here.

Bulk Actions
You can also edit your categories in bulk by going to My Site(s)→Posts→Categories.
To bulk delete any categories, check all categories you want to be deleted, and in the 'Bulk Actions' dropdown above the list, select 'Delete', then click the 'Apply' button.

You can find the category ID for a category by going to My Site(s)→Posts→Categories.
Scroll over the category that you need a category ID number for, and click the Edit link that appears under the category. You will be taken to the Edit Categories page.
Then, the Category ID for that category is visible in the page URL, after tag-ID:
